Hello,

first of all please allow me to thank you for your app! And the official GitHub Action is just a cherry on the top! Kudos!

So, this PR adds to the documentation the installation method using gah:

gah is an GitHub Releases app installer, that DOES NOT REQUIRE SUDO! It is a simple bash script that downloads the latest release of an app from GitHub and installs it in ~/.local/bin. It is designed to be used with apps that are distributed as a single binary file.

Hope you will like it!
Br,
Marek

Merging, but as a side question, is there a way for gah to automatically update the path to include local/.bin?

I was thinking about it, but to be honest I'm a bit afraid of possible consequences if something goes wrong.
